Upgrade list on iPhone app?

I've been able to see the list on the app in the past. I just checked in a few moments ago for DL1917 and it just says "requested" where it used to have a clickable link to see the list. The app recently updated to the latest version last week.

Just curious if this is something that's just a fluke for this flight or a change they made.

Thanks

The last time I tried this, there were some other issues with my ticket but I wasn't able to see the list, and certainly not the list of ABC/D names like on the GIDS display at the gate.

The last time I had this happen the list suddenly appeared around the T-3h mark. No idea why.

You are on the list and you are on it at the right spot but why the list won't show I don't know. You can always call DL and ask but they probably won't give you a reasonable answer other than to tell you that you're on the list.

Just tried the website, also unable to see. Not that the list makes much of a difference this far out but by nature I check it frequently when I miss the UG at the window.

This has happened to me just once before, on a SDC when the system said I hadn't checked in for the second flight yet.

You can't see the UG list on the app or web site until T-24hrs from your flight. That's a 7:40 EST departure so give it until 7:40PM EST tonight and you should be able to see it.

So if you can check in before T-24 because you're already within 24 hours of your first flight, you must wait to see where you are on the gate standby list for FC?

That's my connecting flight. I leave LEX at 3:40 EST. So it's within the 24 hours of my flight.

So you checked in at T-24 and cannot see the upgrade list for any of your flights? Can you see your position as #X out of Y for Z FC seats?

That's correct. The list is only available within 24 hours of each flight's departure time.

+1

You can check in for your entire itinerary at T-24 before the FIRST flight. You can only see the upgrade list at T-24 before the specific flight in question. If you have a connection, you are able to check-in online, but an upgrade for your second flight may not be available.

yes. IME, UG list is only available at T-24hrs from the flight. Even if you've already checked in for your flight because you are within 24hrs of your first departure.

This happened to me just this past weekend.
